This study suggests improvements for the effective operation of refresher courses by reviewing the target groups for each refresher course, the contents of these courses, the estimated number of delegates for each refresher course and the operation methods of training institutes overseas. Approximately 37,000 people need to complete the maritime safety refresher courses every 5 years. For the convenience of seafarers, it is necessary to reduce the land training by activating and standardizing on-board training recognized by the STCW Convention and promote investment in the training sector to continuously improve the seafarer safety training. It is also necessary to examine ways to improve the difference between the curriculums of the domestic refresher courses and the one of the STCW Convention. In addition, investments in the development of safety training facilities and virtual reality training programs are required in order to provide an environment where seafarers can take safety refresher courses in a timely manner.

선원의 직무상 재해율은 일반 산업 재해율 보다 12.6배(2018년 기준)높게 유지되고 있다. 이는 일반 산업재해와 선원의 재해 예방을 위한 근거법이 산업안전보건법과 선원법으로 이원화 되어 있고, 이에 따라 재해예방을 위한 제도가 달리 이행되고 있음이 하나의 요인으로 작용한다. 이에 선원법에 명시된 선내안전보건 관련 규정과 산업안전보건법 및 해사노동협약에서 요구하는 재해예방을 위한 규정을 비교분석하여 선원의 재해예방 방안으로 선내안전보건 관련 인명사고 통계 구축 방안에 필요한 시사점을 도출하고자 한다.

This study estimates the demands for safety training courses with reference to research on safety training records, seafarer statistics, target groups for safety training, expiry dates of existing safety courses, seafarer employment rates, the retirement age, etc. These results are compared with the seating capacity of the maritime training institute to analyze the anticipated increase in and convergence of demand can be accommodated. The average annual safety training needs for the next five years according to the Seafarers Act include approximately 10,444 people, and the proper annual seating capacity of the maritime training institute is approximately 7,280 people at present. Thus, in order to respond to an increasing demand for safety training, it is necessary to expand the capacity of the safety training facility.

The purpose of this study is to investigate seafarers' attitude to casualty related safety onboard the ship. The subjects were 437 seafares' who took a safety education course in Korea Institute of Maritime and Fisheries Technology. This questionnaire was focused on finding the basic data for prevention of industrial accidents, and getting the public opinions and proposals of seafares'. The results obtained by this study are as follows : The average score of safety level for seafares' were 68.82. Current position, level of education, navigation area, classification of ships, ship size, ship age showed significant difference in statistics(p<0.01). Based on these results, this research pointed out the need to review the training manual, development of educational programs, improvement of facilities to improve safety education of ship, etc.

This study aims to propose safety culture design to ease to find out and control behavior characteristics of Korean seafarers. By empirical research of 377 Korean seafarers, the result revealed that significant characteristic of Korean seafarers was "affection to others" and custom of Confucianism affected Korean maritime society prevalently. But there were no significant differences between groups, such as rank, age, gender and sailing route with vessel type except educational background. Furthermore, this study concluded that positive reinforcement was more useful than negative reinforcement to promote safety operation of vessels. Regarding the vessel's safety management, the fact that means for vessel's safety management are linked only to the levels of educational background suggests that the efficiency of vessel's safety operation would be achieved by introducing suitable safety management system depending on the level of educational background.

Lifeboats of vessels are necessary for protection of seafarer's safety. However, many accidents have been happened during free-fall type lifeboat drills on board a ship. The aim of this study describes IMO's efforts and some solutions against constructional problem of lifeboats regulated by the provisions of the SOLAS Convention for prevention of accidents with lifeboats and provides information for revising national laws in accordance with the revision of the International Conventions such as SOLAS and STCW.

The term "ordinary practice of seaman" is applied to hold the responsibility of those involved in marine accidents. However, there is a concern that the responsibilities of seamen may become unclear as the ordinary practices of the seamen are imposed. In addition, the responsibility for improvement is diluted by mentioning the ordinary practice of seaman when the navigation rules stipulated in the COLREGs is clearly violated. The maritime safety investigation and tribunal system thoroughly analyzes the causes of marine accidents to prevent the recurrence of similar accidents. As one cause that does not contribute to the prevention of the recurrence of similar accidents, it would be appropriate to exclude the term "ordinary practice of seaman" as far as possible. Accordingly, I reviewed the reason for the existence of the maritime safety investigation system and ways to improve the application of the term "ordinary practice of seaman," which is recognized as a customary and an unconventional navigation rule, by examining the theories on the ordinary practice of seaman and analyzing cases of court judgments and decisions in the Korea Maritime Safety Tribunal. I also proposed a modern interpretation on the responsibility for proper and purposeful application. In addition, from the viewpoint of preventing the recurrence of maritime accidents, it is suggested that the nounized term in Korea be replaced with the descriptive term.
